There is a rubber O-ring on the shaft of the distributor housing and it is very common for them to get hard, deteriorate, and leak. You'll need to buy the O-ring from Honda as it is not a standard size, then remove the distributor cap, note the position that the rotor is pointing, scribe a mark across the base plate of the distributor where it mates to the head so you can replace it, then remove the 3 bolts that hold the distributor in, pull it out and replace the O-ring.

first have to solve the problem the check engine light will tell you what's wrong by diagnosing the problem have to get the trouble code and find what causing it google.com has few guys posted how to diagnose this and find the source of the problem. might be concern on gas fuel filter clogged, or injector are also clogged,

I would try to have the transmission flushed and filled with new transmission fluid for about $100 or so. If this doesn't solve the problem, a rebuild is indicated, if you plan on keeping the car. Or, you could alternatively buy a used transmission that fits your engine and car combination, that doesn't have this problem.

dear friend-i do not think the oil comes from the hear gasket but rather from the distributor,make sure that the oil is not running down onto the head gasket and the shows as a oil leak from the gasket.

SOUND LIKE ENGINE IS FLOODING. FUEL INJECTORS IS LEAKING FUEL WITH ENGINE OFF.TRY FILLING GAS TANK UP.AND PUT A BOTTLE OF FUEL INJECTION CLEANER IN GAS TANK DRIVE AROUND A LITTLE SO THE CLEANER CAN CLEAN INJECTORS.

One psooibility to this is that there was insufficient oil going to the cam bearings and the camshaft seized. The oil galleries in the head could be plugged therefore not supplying oil to the cam bearings.
There is a posibility that the valves are not bent but you would have to check them carefully. that could be checked out when thw head is machined because if the cam seized you'll have to take the head off and have it serviced.( cam bearing seats machined and oil galleries cleared. Hope this helps you out
